The tables are valuable only as show

Complaint having been made that the
statements do not shcw all the money
received by the Auditor on accout Of
the taxes Of 1886, it is fair to him to say
that he was asked to furnish statement
OF the amounts collected during 1886.
Taxes paid after the 31st Of Decembers
1886, appear in the receipts for 1887. 1t
should also be said that the counties are
not credited on the books of the Audi
tor with the railroad tax because not
paid in by tn. sheriff, and that they are
not charged with the pay Of Legislators.
In fact, the Auditor agrees that that is
not = proper charge, and says that the
items were not asked for nor given by
him.

The Release of George BidWeI.

The Release of George BidWell.
The Bank of England forger, who in
1872 was sentenced to imprisonment
for life, is unprecedented in the ro.
nance attaching to the circumstances
OF his discharge. The pardon Of the
now famous criminal was effected
through the unceasing efforts of de
voted sister, who spent seven years
in trying to obtain her brother'sliber-
ty; and so various were the means
employed, and so persistent her en-.
deavors, that she became almost an
incubus to every official whose action
or influence could have any possible
effect in the direction OF consummat-
ing her purpose. How she finally &C.
complished her object nobody appears
to know. The police officials declare
that they are entirely in the dark as
to the secret Of her success, but all
agree that Bidwell's discharge was
brought about absolutely through her
efforts, and that her self-sacriicing de-
yotion to her brother has no parallel
in the records or traditions Of English
prisons or police departments.

The High Trapeze Woman.

The circus woman who PUSHES into
the ring, bows, catches a strap with
her teeth and is hauled to the top OF
the tent, where she finds rest on a
single, swinging trapeze bar, has no
sinecure. Every motion is. the result
of years OF labor. A reporter inter
viewed one OF these queens OF the air
and found that her sa xdust title was
not gained without courage and pa
thence. She said: H.. IT.
1.-THE art of balancing on swinging
trapeze is more difficult than active
gymnastics. I began to accustom my.
self to the circus ring at 6 years OF age.
At z l could turn hand-springs. My
mother was slack-wire walker, and
her ambition was to have me follow
in her footsteps, so to speak. Som E.
how had an antipathy to the slack
wire. but gradually I was taught to
balance on it. At the age of 10 I
could do little walking on the wire,
but ! always kept the wire swinging to
and fro. In few years more I could
do anything on the slack-wire, and
grew ambitious to perform other
feats. I was between II and Is years
old when l first assembled to a high
trapeze bar. A network was spread
under to catch ME if fell The more

shouted up to me not to look down
at all but to keep my eyes fastened on

And old, one-armed John B. Hollis,
OF Cohasset, laid his smoking rifle up
on the small table before him. Pull
ing a leathern purse from a deep
pocket in his pantaloons. and select
ing q ten.cent piece, he handed it to
the proprietor Of the place and moved
toward the door leading to the street.
1t WAS the first time the old gentle
man had ever visited the gallery, and
his remarkable craftsmanship had
excited the curiosity OF those who
were present. He had but one arm,
to the stump Of which was affixed a
wooden substitute for the missing
member. Upon this he rested the
barrel OF his rifle when in the act OF
shooting, not daring to use the artiti-
cial rest which most OF the rillcme:,
are only to anxious to avail them
selves OF. What was still more unusu-
al was the fact that he stood back
from the usual line OF firing about
three PAGES and used an opensighted
rifle. ~:
"You shoot remarkably we'll for an
old man." said the proprietor of the
place, as the ancient marksman had
finished buttonjng up his heavy outer
garment.
"Yes, considering that ! am in my

up the left sleeve of his overcoat and

when our local rife team had assem-

Of competition between the rif1emen of
Cohasset and the neigh oring towns,
and the boys of my team always de-
pended upon me to pull them out of q
hole whenever they got into one. which
was frequently the case. Inever once
